Beyonce's pre-birth beauty prep

Beyonce has revealed she had a mini-makeover before delivering her baby girl.

The Halo singer wanted to make sure she looked her best when she went into hospital to have baby Blue Ivy in January, reports People.

She said: "I did have a fresh eyebrow wax. I got my nails done, I got my feet done, had my hair done, and I had my little lip gloss."

But the 30-year-old added that she soon forgot about her appearance.

"I didn't feel that I looked beautiful during birth, but who does? After being pumped with all those fluids and gaining so much weight ... I barely recognised myself.

"But after many hours of labour, I couldn't care less about anything but my child. I didn't care how I looked."

Beyonce, who was recently named the magazine's most beautiful woman in the world for 2012, packed on 50lbs during her pregnancy but said she is almost back to her pre-baby weight thanks to breastfeeding, exercise and a healthy diet.
